if only Augur knew.

bones had been sacred to Astara and Averna; Avicus had seen it herself, the altars and shrines they kept. the pelvis. another pelvis.

her breath caught as she stumbled upon the scene, lying low for a second so as not to reveal her sudden weakness to the man. once she had composed herself, she rose once more, padding toward him with her chin lifted in inquiry.

she almost asks a question aloud, but remembers he, too, is like her mother. wordless.

she traces the darkened curves of the skeletal remains with her muzzle, gaze wandering over it before it returns to Augur. she touches her nose to the center of it, slowly. closing her eyes.

ma, she whispers.
but see, amid the mimic rout,
a crawling shape intrude —
a blood-red thing that writhes from out
the scenic solitude
